hi,
what webserver works on localhost with phpTools ? does apache work ? do i need xampp ? IIS ? where to install xdebug ?
thanks

Hello,

We've tested most common servers as apache, IIS, IIS Express, wamp. But you should be able to use it with any other server that supports php and xdebug.

XDebug has to be installed to directory of your PHP installation that you want to use for debugging.

This is from my php.ini:

Code: Select all

zend_extension = "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP533\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.1-5.3-vc9-nts.dll"

[xdebug]
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode = req
xdebug.idekey="php-vs"


Than you can select in Project properties for example custom server and introduce url that is assigned on your server. After pressing "F5" PHP Tools will try to connect with the debugger. This project setting assumes you have php setup on your server.

Thank you

Hello Miloslav,

I'm using WAMP with VS2012, and I'm unable to see the path you specify. Would you please tell how to do this for VS2012? Thanks.

Hello,

You can find it in project properties, which you can find by right mouse clicking on project icon in Solution Explorer:



Then there is custom server option. Just fill it with the url which is set on your web server.
